gl dean!

hope youve been well bro

Jason!, im good, didnt know you still lurked 2p2. Still playing much?

-------------------

Played really short session today, after group coaching session with RomeOpro

Had a ton of chips in the b109 and bb44 but nothing happened. Bust the 109 within 3 hands, no justice


















Nice punt from some reg .

This blog def wont be bitching.

Day off tomorrow, have some coaching then scoop grind. Will try update after everyday. gl bros

yeah i probs go on 2p2 like once every few weeks.
Yah was working in finance for a bit but quit, just moved down to london earlier today to grind lollive for a living

Good luck today buddy!

Just woke after a long day yesterdays, Started at 1pm with the 1k scoop clicked my last button at 5am, unfortunately it was me FT bubbling the 888 challenge and 20th in mega deep. Happy with how I played for most the day but no dice in scoop events, I did make a day 2 in the ipops main with 40bb. It has 45k up top so nice little sweat, still 200 left though.

Elmerixx won the super sized sunday and party HR for 6 figs combined, and few of the stable guys have days 2 today which il be railing before starting. Have the rebuy and HU today, poss skip the HU it takes to much focus away from other tables. I also want to get in the party gpppt thing, fired 4 bullets yday and nothing. Will be huge overlay so need to make day 2.

Great stuff so far, IN and looking forward to more updates.

GL for SCOOP!

really short session today, skipped the HU, didnt last to long in the 82r KK<QQ just after add on. 14th-ish in the 109 weight-in, only thing of note.

Super Tuesday tomorrow.

subd and gl for scoop!


I kinda gotta admire the grind of tourney players, I feel like killing myself of playing 1 day of mtts and always swear I won't do it ever again.

Likewise. The grinding is very impressive. In big field tourneys, I ask for an ICM deal if I survive the first level.
I'm expecting the BitB guys to crush SCOOP. GL Big_Mick!

I sometimes still get this haha

thank arty, dont think scoop is going too good atm, very early but crushing the other mtts that are huge because of scoop

Quick summary of the last few days, haven’t posted as there nothing to post about.

Tuesday
Super Tuesday & 109
ST: Didn’t last long on the ST,

Key hand where I squeeze a UTG open and a sb call from the bb with QdQx. UTG flats, I bet flop, turn and check/call river on 946dd 7 5d,. I thought he never jams KK+ and maybe doesn’t jam sets. Thinking he can turn 98, 9T, A9, TT & JJ into bluff here but in reality they never do, although I think they should. Also having diamond blocking AQ/KQ flushes factored into the call but should be folding. He shows 88.

Cashed the 109 but bust hour or so before the end of day 1. Squeeze jammed AQ into AK for 22bb, though it was ok but thin at the time. The opener was lose and had heaps, HJ reggy looking CC also had 60bb+ but means he is flatting AK/TT+ a decent amount, looking at it in HRC, its breakeven so disappointed in that. Want to be taking big edges in soft, good structure mtts.

Wednesday
215 & 27 Shootout
Bust 1st round of the 215, tough table with birs320 running the show.
Got a HU match in the 27 and won that but bust the 2nd round.

700 PKO and 82 8m PSKO
700: Ran a stack and got a fair few bounties, think i had 2k when i bust. Ran pretty card dead for an hour and bust in a spot vs Veeaa, he has 150bb and is playing every pot, I open AK off 33bb and he flats, I x/jam 266tt vs his small stab and he snaps 77. I know he’s going after the big bounty and flatting realy wide and will iso TT+ so his calling range is 66-99 and some 6x and FDs, and he’s folding so much we make a lot by jamming.

Ran it in crev and we make 6.5bb x/jamming there and if we x/c we need to realise 85%eq for it to be the same EV. Not sure we can get 85% when I have a weak and faceup range vs an aggro reg who’s going to put us in tough spots. Its high variance but given the situation think it is going to be fine, def not something to be doing in a FO.

82 8m: Also had a stack in this but bust before the money, few bluffs got called and b/c A7 on 974 btn vs bb when they have every single gutter+ for 17bb, he had Q9 though for gg.

Thursday

Thrill & 109PSKO

Thrill: Tried to table select but couldnt click fast enough for the seat on a good one, need a timstone mtt script, so I was the 1st one seated on a new table. Had a tough draw with all regs for 3 hours, one of those **** mtts where you never get above starting stack, cant flops pairs and x/f every flop and turn. Very annoying especially in a 1k, but thats how it goes. Busto in a lol spot, Aggro Santos is left with 1 ante from the hand before and i’m praying for hand next, wake up with AK in the sb. UTG opens, Aggro Santos all in, 3 guys flat and i rejam 19bb, UTG jams for 100 eff with KQ, Q flop and we fade the bounty and the double up.

109:This went slightly better, got up to 15k from 10k but busto no KOs, Fishy reg opens i flat JTss off 25bb, 469sss flop i raise his cbet and we get it in vs KxQs and he gets there.

Other MTTS
Had 2 3rd place finished last 2 days for around 1k each, both had 70/30s for cl and HU but bricked, also 12th hot22 today and some powerfest thing for 15th
Making scoop a losing one so far but very a small loss. Plenty to go and big weekend ahead. Not sure if I should take a day off tomorrow, prob just play as I’m starting later than normal the normal grind so can get rest and stuff down before playing.

Shout-out for Jorginho for 3rd in the ST for 144k, and Ssick_one who does some coaching for the stable, won the $215 shootout earlier today.

Was fun playing with you in the 82 8 max pko, hope you get a solid bink mate!

we make day 2 of milly with 320k going into 8k/12k so need some work.

Had this 2 hands from the end



Find a double with KK the very last hand.

nice! gl tomorrow man

that A5 hand is total bs tho, has to hurt

Brutal, time to spin it up today

It stung a little, but whatever.

Just bust, lost flip 5mins into restart than hovered around 13bb and bust K5<q7 bvb for 11bb.

Soooo, not much has happened since my proper update.

Skipped Friday, didint fancy the ante up or the big ante rebuys, got some rest for big weekend.

Saturday - think the only run of note was the 215 8m where I cashed 1xxth but didnt make day 2.

Sunday - built stacks in bunch of stuff and han some min cashes, made day2 of million but didnt last long

Monday - short session around the milly but didnt reg, alot as I wanted to take the day off but couldn't.

Tuesday - pretty bad day in scoop, lost a big pot early on in the 1k (hand below, would like thoughts, i tanked a while). Ground back up to 8k then fish jammed over a SQ and my 4b with K7s and got there vs my QQ, would have been back to 100bb.

thoughts OTR

Not running too hot right now, need to practise flips but evbb/100 well into double figs for the month which given higher abi pretty happy about even though its only 30k hands.

If you don't mind me asking, but curious how much do you buy in for during a normal MTT grinding day and how much of that is sold/staked?

would like to know first what kind of player is sb. if he's capable of having a lot of q9,a9 combo's to begin with. think I would crycall, although it's obv gross he jams into two people. Really depends on villain. If he's more of a recreational player, he could perhaps valuejam JT, which would make it a snapcall etc

ABI is 50, average 35 games a day. All backed

Since new stars schedule, ABI has increased a little, not sure by how much yet

Shrug lol call vs unknown, although utg+2 call/folding might remove some of sb's missed draws turned into spazz and impossible to say anything without some reads/stats on villain, but fold vs non crazy/bad regs. Last **** edit.

would genuinely flip a coin then, geez awkward spot

oh nvm you are talking about yourself, sorry

Ha, villain is a reg, stats seem solid but don't think all that relevant as this is such a weird spot, river agg for example wouldn't tell us anything.

He def has a ton of 9x but some of my bluffs got there so leading 9x seems really bad.

Wait what, what are we losing against???

Im snapping that off as fast as I can get over my confusion of his play while laughing, after that I'll prob lose against 99, cry and swear I'm never playing MTTs again. And obviously after I bustout I gyazo the HH and post to skypechats while berating all MTT players.

Losing vs a lollead with 89/99/a9 but more importantly a reg with solid stats isnt gonna leadjam the river in a 1k with 150bbs ss as a bluff vs 2 people who can have boats.
